What model and engine do you have?

Are you sure you changed the sender for the gauge and not the sensor for the computer?

If you changed a 2 wire switch, then you changed the wrong one. The temp gauge sender is a one wire switch and usually located in the back corner of the head. The 2 wire sensor is for the computer, not the gauge.
